My Posse Can Do

Right now I have three bikes. They’re all in my living room. And I love it. Check out my posse:

There be things that my posse can do.

Don’t they look ready for action? I love the way the flash caught the reflector on the Bat.

Another snap:

Not sure what’s up with the angle of the seat on the Dahon and the Batavus, but other than that, they look ready to ride into the sunset. Speaking of bikes in the living room, I can’t seem to leave the Bat outside. If anyone has any interior bike storage ideas, I’d love to hear them. Have thought about the Cycloc, but it’s expensive and I’m not sure how it would work for a step-through frame. Anyone tried it?

Song that inspired the title is after the jump.

Not sure why this wasn’t released on an album, but luckily I know a huge Tori fan who turns me on to the good stuff. :)

Is it me or do they look a little intimidating in the first picture? In the second picture, though, I keep waiting for them to sway their booties – “I don’t do so well in traffic or with leaders who don’t have it, I got me some better things to do…tippy tippy tie, tippy tippy tap, tippy tippy tie all over the world” :D

I too am looking for a way to store 3 bikes inside my condo. At the moment, I just lean them up against the wall in my bedroom, but I’m sure there’s a better (more artistic) way of storing my rides when they are not in use.

I couldn’t leave mine outside and we have no storage room. So, I leave my bike inside. Luckily, I have 2 bedrooms, and there’s just me and I hardly get visitors. So my lucky bike has a room of it’s own! I’ve seen multi level stands..that you can put inside that don’t damage walls/ceilings…and you can put 2 or 3 bikes on the stand..and take up little space. But not cheap!

Awesome posse! Gee, now I WANT another bike. Wish folding bikes were cheaper..are they easier take on a plane?

Beautiful bikes, Trisha! What colour is the Dahon folding bike and how do you like it?

Between the two of us, the Co-Habitant and I will have 3 huge steel-frame bikes in our small apartment when I get back to the US. His suggestion is to hang them on the wall or suspend them from the ceiling, like they do in bike shops… Yeah.

Lovely Bicycle, the Dahon is black and it belongs to a friend of mine — she loans it to me when I need a third bike. It’s well-made but my overall assessment is that unless you need a bike that folds for some reason (no storage, frequent travel, multi-modal commuting, etc) it’s not worth the slight decrease in stability and handling that comes as a result of it being a folder.

Wow, only six months into this blog thing and already have my first proposal. Tempting, but since such a relationship should be built on mutual honesty I must confess that I *do* have a TV. I just can’t remember the last time I turned it on (maybe last Thursday?) and get very few channels. If that affects your feelings, I completely understand. ;-)

I found this gravity rack on sale at Target and it works wonders for 2 of the bikes. http://tinyurl.com/m7gefz
For the third, I got a stand that holds my rear wheel so the bike stands upright (no leaning) since I don’t have a kick stand on it.
